Can you guess what kind of tea this is? Are you guessing a green tea? Well, you would be wrong!
This is an herbal tea I've never had before—Cherry Stem Tea! This was among the amazing packet of teas and spices I recently received in the mail from my friend Ginger following her trip to Europe. And I have to tell you that I really did detect fruity notes in this tea and learned this was a brilliant use of cherry stems.
I wish I could send you the scents in this package over the internet, because when I opened the package, it smelled so yummy that I kept walking by it and taking a whiff! I've already enjoyed most of these teas (love me some lavender tea) and can't wait to cook some chicken with the Herbs de Provence.
As if all of this tea weren't enough, some fancy chocolate was included too. Thank you, Ginger, for adding to my tea (and chocolate) education!
Cherry stem tea is a new one for me! I’m glad you got to try it - what a nice assortment of “imported” teas Ginger sent you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you liked the teas. Until my travels, Ceai de Codițe de Cireșe was new to me too. I enjoyed it and it is a cleaver way to use almost all of a cherry.
ReplyDeleteOne of my son in laws is from the south of France and they will take a few of the lavender pieces(not sure what the right term is) and just put it in with a cup of regular tea. Ideally right from the garden but will use dried too.Very tasty!
